Specification of Letters Patent.

.Iatented Aug. 1'7, 1920.

Application filed July 9, 1918. Serial No. 244,629.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CARL G. JANSON and CHARLES J. BRAUN, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda andState of California, have invented certain new and useful improvementsin Bunks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved bed particularly useful on ships and incamps. The bed is simple, cheap and sanitary and will. fit into awkwardspaces.

The invention is illustrated in theaecompanying drawings which form apart of this specification and the appended claims.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the bed.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bed.

Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the bed.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the supporting means for the mattresssupporting frame.

7 are respectively a side elevation, an end elevation and a plan ofportions of a modified form of bed.

In the drawings, 1 and 2 indicate a head and foot post, on the bottomand top of which collars 8 are turnably mounted. said collars havingflanges 4 which may be cured to the floor and ceiling to secure theposts in position to support the bed. Set screws 4 are provided in thecollars -lto prevent turning of the posts.

Angle iron supports 5 and 6 are bolted midway between their ends oneabove the other to the inside of posts 1 and 2 by bolts 7 and 8, theflanges 9 of which supports extending inwardly from the posts and theends of the flanges 10 of said supports being provided with notches 11.The supports 5 and 6 are maintained in horizontal position by angularstays 12 which are riveted at their corners to the posts 1 and 2 and attheir ends to the flanges 10 of said supports. Lower and upper mattressframes 13 and I l are provided for sustaining the lower and uppermattresses of the bed. Said mattress frames includeend angle members 15,having inwardly extending flanges 16 secured to the ends of the siderods 17 of the frame, and downwardly extending flanges 18 which restupon the flan es 9 of supports 5 and 6 respectively an have pins 19extending therefrom which fit in the notches 11, whereby the mattressframes are suported properly on the bed posts 1 and 2. ilattress springs20 are secured at their ends to the flanges 16 of the end frame members15. Guards 21 are pivotally mounted on the outer side rods 17 of themattress frames at the head of said frames and are normally held inupright position by hooks 2:2 pivoted to the posts 1 and 2 and eyes 23on the keep ers which are engaged by the hooks. W henthe hooks aredisengaged from the eyes, the guards swing down from the rods 17 and themattress frames 13 and 14: may be lift ed off the supports 5 and 6. Whenthe mattress frames are removed from the supports 5 and 6, the setscrews 4 may be loosened and the posts turned into such a position thatthe supports 5 and 6 will be out of the way.

In the modification shown in Figs. 5. (3 and 7, one end of the guard 21is pivoted at 25 to the outside of the head end frame member 15 andengages the end of the support 5 on the post 1 whereby the guard ismaintained in upright position when the bed is assembled. hen themattress frame is removed from the supports 5 the guard may swing downby gravity. The ends of the supports 5 are maintained rigidly inposition by braces 26, secured at their respective ends to the bed postsbelow said supports and to brackets :27 which are scoured to the ends ofsaid supports. Head rail 28 and foot rail. 29 are respectively securedat their ends to the inner side of the flanges 10 of the head and footsupports Said head and foot rails extend horizontally above the supports5 and the ends of the mattress frame and downwardly at their ends whichare secured to the supports. The ends of the flanges 10 of the supports5 are bent inwardly to rest against the ends of the mattress frame andto provide a space between the ends of said mattress frame and theflanges ll! of supports 5 to receive the ends members, a guard hingedlyconnected to a side ol the mattress lramc a hook clcment looselyconnected to one of said posts and cngageable with the guard to maintainit in upright position.

2. A bed of the lcind described comprising a single head-post and asingle foot-post, transversely extending supporting members one securedto an intermediate portion 10 thereof to eachpost, a pair of brace armssecured to each post, the arms of each pair having connectionrespectively with the op 'positeends of the supporting member on thepost, an intermediate portion of said supporting members between theirextremities having a flange ii'm'ardl projecting from its lower edgeportion, the extremities of said supporting member being oilset in*ardly and having notches in the upper edges of said oll'set portions, amattress frame to extend between. said posts and to rest upon theflanges of said supporting members, and projections extending from themattress frame and adapted to engage in the notches of the supportingmembers to maintain the frame against accidental displacement.

3. A bed of the kind described comprising a single head-post and asingle foot-post, horizontal supporting members, one secured at anintermediate portion thereof to each post, a head;rail and a tootailrigidly mounted on said snp iorts, respectively, an inwardly projertingllange extending from each of said supporting members, a mattress Frameadapted to extend between said posts and to rest upon said flanges, apair of brace arms secured to each post at a point distant .i'rcm said.supporting members, and outward 1y projecting extensions on the ends ofthe supporting membersrthe brace arms of each pair extending Within theplane of the post and having connection with said outward extensions ofthe supporting members on said posts.

4. A bed of the kind described comprising a single head-post and asingle loot-post, transversely extending supporting members one securedat an intermediate portion thereof to each post, respectively, a pair01' brace arms secured to each posh the arms oi each pair havingconnection respeetivcly with the opposite ends of a supporting member,and a mattress frame adapted to extend between said posts and to rest onsaid supporting members.

In testimony whereof We allix our signatures. CARL G. JANSON. A
